In the fictional Star Wars universe, spacetroopers are a specialized branch of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. They are known also as Zero-G Assault Troopers. They are second only to the Emperor's Royal Guard and are sometimes known as 'walking tanks'. Although the stormtrooper armor is designed to protect the trooper in the vacuum of space, it is only designed for short periods. So they wear a larger suit of power armour that is 2 meters tall over the standard stormtrooper armour. Their large power suits benefit them the firepower of a light tank. Spacetroopers are trained to fight in space for extended periods. Their missions involve the capture of enemy vessels. They are deployed in units of forty aboard assault shuttles. Capital ships can be easily overtaken with well organised assaults. Their armour operates as a personal space craft and an assault vehicle.
